Cool, thanks! I don't usually read all the upcoming releases this early, I wait until Monday or Tuesday of each week so I can calculate which books will be good for a quick flip to pay for my own choices.

Sure why not? I guess there's no escaping the Teen Titans analogy and that's fair enough, so taking that further imagine if the Justice League and all the other adult heroes and villains flew off into space to confront some Crisis-level threat to the Earth, but didn't come back. And for the various sidekicks and teen heroes (and villains) left behind, whatever it was they went out there to fight is still coming and everything is on the verge of falling apart.

Unlike the DC teen heroes, expect quick, deft world-building in place of continuity, and no guarantee that your favorite characters will make it out alive.

Hmmmm...I like the sound of that concept. Perhaps I will track down the first volume soon. Thanks!

Danger Club is back! And luckily I got the last copy at the comics shop.

Issue #5 picks up where #4 left us hanging and the action continues. Some of the characters in Danger Club are clearly inspired by classic sidekick characters, but even still I'm impressed by the character-building over the first five issues. When I was wondering where the book had gone after issue 4, I was a little surprised by how much I wanted to keep reading about them and find out what the hell happens next. Big big cliffhanger at the end of #5. Plays off of classic comicbook crises, so it left me wondering what angle they'll take with what happens afterwards.

The only reason this series didn't place higher when I made my list for the It's been awhile: List your top 5 books! thread was because we haven't had 6 full issues yet. It was an incredibly hard decision but I just didn't feel comfortable throwing it into my Top 5 with only 5 issues. That being said, if you like superhero comic books and you are not reading Danger Club, then you are doing it wrong. Period.
